The original taste of the Caribbean 

Image for blog - Stars of Summer OTC Beverages was founded in 2018 by Shirley White. The idea was born out of the need to create a product that had minimal ingredients in the recipe, tasted refreshing, like a homemade Caribbean beverage, and had high quality extract of flavours in premium packaging. For summer 2022, we love the company’s delicious Sorrel Drink. Available in still and sparkling varieties, it’s made from 100% extract of natural and organic ingredients and has a unique lemony/floral kick. otcbeverages.com
